One of my faves to make during summer time! Delish!

There’s nothing quite like the aroma of a homemade cobbler filling the kitchen with warmth and sweetness, especially when it’s as easy to make as this Slow Cooker Berry Cobbler. This recipe is a beloved classic in our family, perfect for those busy days when you want to prepare something special without spending all day in the kitchen. What’s lovely about this dish is that it combines the natural sweetness of berries with a comforting, cake-like topping. It's perfect for a weekend treat or a delightful dessert for a family gathering. Plus, it’s a great way to use up those summer berries!

Slow Cooker Berry Cobbler pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a more indulgent touch, serve it warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce. Consider enjoying it alongside a fresh cup of coffee or a chilled glass of milk. If serving this at a family gathering, a side of fresh fruit salad or a simple green salad can add a nice contrast to the sweetness of the cobbler.

Servings: 6

4 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening if using frozen berries)

Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

In a large bowl, gently toss the berries with 1/4 cup of the sugar. If using frozen berries, mix in the cornstarch to help thicken the juices as they cook.

In another bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Pour the batter into the prepared slow cooker, spreading it out evenly.

Spoon the berry mixture evenly over the top of the batter. Do not stir.

Cover and cook on High for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cake portion comes out clean.

Once done, turn off the slow cooker and let the cobbler set for about 15 minutes before serving.

For a different twist, try using a mixture of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. If you have picky eaters, you can replace the mixed berries with just one type of fruit, like blueberries or peaches. To add a bit of spice, sprinkle a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter. For a healthier option, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and reduce the sugar by half.
